Emil in his sleep, at Buffalo, on the morning of De-
cember z, was yesterday afternoon after trial OF
nearly q months duration, convicted OF murder In
the second degree, which will send her TO prison
for life. Her attorney will not take an appeal, but
believes he can persuade the court to appoint a
commission to decid04 whether she is sane. He
believes that she has been thoroughly irrespon-
sible since the birth OF Frank Roe, the young man
who so doggedly swore to the facts which decided
the jury against her.
The evidence went to the jury yesterday moon,
Judge Beckw1th having charged that q verdict OF

Her attorney tried to get stay or sentence until
his return from European trip. This was not al

the time fixed for the sentence. MIS- PenSeyreS

RECOVERED AFTER MANY YEARS.
An Interesting Ejectment Suit Decided
i'm Court Yesterday.

In the case Of Mrs. Geo. N. Beale against Geo. W.
Brown and his brothers, to recover possession OF
one undivided half interest in nearly the whole OF
the north half OF square 275 in this city, bounded
by T. 10Th and 18th streets northwest, before JUS
tice Cox in Circuit Court No. l. was concluded yes
terday by verdict In favor OF Mrs. Beale. In 1888
Thomas B. Brown, an unmarried uncle Of Mrs.
Beale, died In Lafayette, Ind, intestate and the
owner OF the property mentioned, which he had
purchased In 1882. To Mrs. Beale, his niece, and
to his brother, the late DR.. VIM. V. H. Brown, his
heirs at law, the property descended in equal
shares. Dr. Brown died in 1852, leaving four chill
dren, to whom his share descended. When her
uncle Thomas B. Brown, died, Mrs. Beale was
only six years old, and, when she was about ten
years OF age, in 1912. the property was sold for
taxes that fell due after her uncle Thomas death,
and was purchased by her grandfather, the late
Rev. Obadiah B. Brown, who, in 1885, obtained q
tax deed; In 184S the grandfather conveyed his
interest under the tax deed In consideration OF 81
to his son, hi. Brown. In the early part or 1854,
about Forty SIX years after she had become the alb
sOlute owner OF the property one OF the heirs OF
her uncle Thomas, Mrs. Beale first learned that
she had any interest in the property, and in April
OF that commenced suit to recover her interest
Her cousins claimed through the tax deed, but
Judge Cox held that the tax deed was void and
the jury having found that Mrs. Beale was one OF
the heirs Of her uncle Thomas, as stated, gave
their verdict in her favor. The whole property is
now estimated to be worth from SIS, 600 to OOO
Mrs. Beale's portion being One-half.

ARGUMENTS FOR AND AGAINST PAYMENT OF CON-
MISSIONS BY THE RAILROADS
In the hearing OF the complaint Of the Chicago
and Alton Railroad against the Pennsylvania, be-
fore the Interstate Commission yesterday after
noon, President Roberts, OF the Pennsylvania, Mr..
Geo. B. Blanchard, commissioner OF the central
trafdc association, and Passenger Agent Ford, Of
the Pennsylvania, testified that the practice OF
paying commissions was u vicious one and de-
mOralized the railroad employees. General Mana
ger Chapel, OF the Chicago and Alton, testified
that the commission was simply an inducement
to the Eastern agent to take an interest in West
ern roads TO explain the routes &C., and he re-
garded the system as tending to prevent discr1m-
nation. Mr.. Brown concluded the argument for
the Chicago and Alton and Aessrs Brooks and
Scott for the Pennsylvania.

Although the newspapers are filled with jubilee

the soft ground. He was not severely injured.
Baggagemaster william Coleman, who Jumped

bruised, and Brakeman Henry Kane, OF Montclair,
slightly hurt A wrecking car was sent out from
Jersey City with fast engine. IL followed out
the Little Falls local tran which leaves the jersey
City depot at 12:l5, driven by Engineer William
Brown. At Cedar Grove the machinery OF the
engineer and fireman got out to nx 1t. The train
was stopped on an embankment at point where
the road curves sharply. Just as the repairs were
completed and the train was slowly starting the
wrecker came In view around the curve. Engineer
John Van Ness saw that collision could not be
averted, and, with his fireman. jumped from the
wrecking train and rolled down the bank just as
the wrecking engine struck the rear coach and
swept It and the baggagecar and smoker from the
track.
The shock threw the tender up at an angle,

A RICH FARMERS HOUSE RANSACKED BY ROBBERS AND
YOUNG NAN FATALLY HURT.
A special from Huntingdon, Pa, to the Philadel-
phia Press dated June 16, says: bold attempt at
robbery and desperate fight with q farmers
household by masked robbers, who fatally shot
one man, startled the whole county to-day. This
morning at half-past three masked men went to
the residence of Peter Hawn, in Juniata Township
about six miles from Huntingdon, and demanded
from Kate Bush, the aged housekeeper, Mr. Hawn's
money. Hawn Is an old bachelor and Is cons1d-
cred the richest farmer in the township, being the
owner OF twelve farms. Miss Bush and Mrs.
George Auker were the only persons in the house
when the robbers came, and they stOutly denied
that there was any money In the house, but with
oathS the robbers asserted there was, and at once
commenced q search, ransacking bureaus and ia
BILE drawers all over the house.
Christian St1pple, O farm hand, at work in the
barn, heard the racket and entered the house. He
picked up large shovel and was about to strike
one OF the robbers, when another OF the men came
downstairs, pointed mis- revolver at Stfpple and
mark.
Geo. Auker the adopted son Of Hawn, was work
Ing in the field near by, and hearing the shots Sc
cured his rife. AS one OF the robbers came out Of
the house he fired, but missed him, whereupon the
robber shot at Auker. hitting him with q cali
Der ball In the left breast about an inch from the
heart.
toi from his assa1lant's hand and shot him In the
left eye. Both men fell TO the ground, Auker IA
tally injured, and 1t Is thought the rObber, who
escaped to the mountains is also fatally hurt. He
was traced two miles by posse but has not yet
been taken.
